The port of Tougues is an archaeological site and ancient lakeside town that was listed as a Monument Historique in 1997. From the port, you can enjoy an exceptional panorama of Lake Geneva and Switzerland.
The Tougues landing stage dates back to 1864. In 1880, wood was replaced by stone, and in 1913, the landing stage was extended by 25 meters.
However, it should be noted that the commune's first port was the Port de Beauregard. However, around 1870, several incidents with fishermen and boatmen led to Count Costa de Beauregard banning access to the port. The commune lost the case against the family and was forced to move its port to Tougues.
The new port expanded with the arrival of steamboats on Lake Geneva. Between 1823 and 1864, while waiting for the landing stage to be built, travelers had the honor of disembarking on the commune's shores by canoe.
